Description Menanteau Guy 2017-09-14 14:52:42 UTC
I am not able to install Fedora-Server-dvd-ppc64-27-20170913.n.0.iso on VM ppc64.
Dracut failed with following messages

dracut-initqueue:anaconda: found /run/install/repo//images/install.img

Comment 1 Dan Horák 2017-09-14 15:25:42 UTC
There is similar problem in the Fedora OpenQA instance - https://openqa.stg.fedoraproject.org/tests/160500#step/_boot_to_anaconda/10

Adding more RAM to the VM could help.

Comment 2 Menanteau Guy 2017-09-15 07:37:21 UTC
I tested with more RAM on VM without any success.
I did not find what was wrong but actually the problem is not anymore in Fedora-Server-dvd-ppc64-27-20170914.n.0.iso so I close this bug.

Comment 3 Dan Horák 2017-09-15 07:48:34 UTC
also the sizes of install.img and kernel and initrd images are the same between the 0913 and 0914 composes

Comment 4 Menanteau Guy 2017-09-18 08:55:19 UTC
Problem is back on version of Fedora-Server-dvd-ppc64le-27-20170917.n.0.iso
https://openqa.stg.fedoraproject.org/tests/overview?distri=fedora&version=27&build=Fedora-27-20170917.n.0&groupid=3

Comment 5 Menanteau Guy 2017-09-18 09:41:40 UTC
Note that the problem is also present on ppc64le and on a baremetal installation too.

I tried with today's nightly compose from https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/compose/branched/Fedora-27-20170921.n.0/compose/Server/ both Fedora-Server-dvd-ppc64le-27-20170921.n.0.iso and Fedora-Server-dvd-ppc64-27-20170921.n.0.iso . Both got installed and booted successfully. Can you please try and let us know if you still see the issue?

Problem was present on composes of 27-2017013 and 27-20170917. I did not find what trigger it on some composes and not on others.
Currently the issue is not there. We can close the problem as I already did but I am afraid it will come back later.

Comment 8 Menanteau Guy 2017-10-05 14:34:37 UTC
I did not get the problem again still the 27-20170917 version so I close this bug. I will reopen it if the problem come back.

Comment 9 Harald Hoyer 2017-10-11 07:59:02 UTC
this was an anaconda problem (dracut part of anaconda)
